How
the Cold Drawing Process Works

In the cold drawing
process, standard shape bars (rounds, squares, hexagonals or flats) are
pulled through carbide dies which have been contoured to the exact shape
of the part you need. The drawing process changes the shape or reduces the
size of the metal. Several passes may be required through smaller and smaller
dies depending on the final shape, or the complexity of the finished product.
Sometimes annealing may be required between the drawing operations to restore
the ductility of the metal.
